Isaac asked:
I hear that West Maui is better than South Maui. I am getting married in South Maui, but do not mind staying in West Maui and driving to South Maui if it does not take too long. Please give suggestions!!

Definitely west maui!! I have a condo at the Westin. Stay at either the Sheraton Black Rock, The Westin Ka’anapali, or the Ka’anapali Ali’i.
Ka’anapali is 5 minutes from Lahaina, which is a beautiful downtown area with lots of fun shopping, and restaurants. The beaches on west maui are absolutely gorgeous as well.
Also, there is a cool town called Pa’ia which is about 20 minutes away from Ka’anapali it is on the tip of north Maui. It is an old plantation town where there is very cool shopping, and restaurants as well. very romantic also.
Hope this helps!!

dude i live on maui……. go to the Grand Wailea Resort, it is in the south side, and is undoutably the best resort on maui. it is very luxourios and has alot of good resteraunts and shopping aswell. and if you are really dying to stay on the west side because you like all of the people and tousist attractions stay in the Westen. it is allso a very good choice and is in a very nice location. those are the two locally favored resorts on maui. and my freinds dad actually manages the westin so i have been there many times aswell. and for snorkeling the westin is way better.
Oh and depending on when you come you should look into the traffic situation. lately there has been major road work so traffic make the trips from west to south almost double in time.
one more thing who ever said Paia is 20 minutes from Kaanapali, Lahaina is either lying or just doesnt know, it is actually more of an hour drive around a mountain and through Kahului, the biggest city on maui, but good try though. maybe if you looked at a map it would help a little.
if you need more just cantact me and ill be willing to help

West Maui
~ Kapalua – Kapalua Bay – Ritz Carlton – Kapalua Golf & Bay Villas (Condos)
~ Kaanapali – Search Kaanapali Beach
~ Napili – Napili Bay – napilikai.com
100s of hotels & condos on the oceanfront in West Maui, I prefer West Maui but South Maui (Kihei ) is nice also. Wailea in South Maui has nicer (higher end resorts) than Kihei.
Price ranges vary greatly.

Some people prefer West Maui and others prefer South Maui. I personally prefer the west side because it is more lush and green and is the location of the great little tourist town of Lahaina. One reason some people prefer the south side is that it gets less rain.
It takes an hour to drive from one side to the other, so do not stay on the west side if you are getting married on the south side.
There is more information about the two sides advantages and disadvantages on this web page:
